That depends on the nature of the mental health issues. The person must have legal capacity. More specifically, at the moment when they sign it they must be mentally capable of understanding what they are doing and the consequences of that action. They must file the objection or complaint in writing with the court. The court may dispose of the matter quickly or inquire further into the capacity of the complainant. Some people with a mental illness may be considered to have legal capacity and it may be up to the court to make a determination. If there is a question the court may want to contact the person's doctor.

The executor of the estate submits the will to probate court if it is necessary to do so. It is only necessary when there is a large estate, many heirs, outstanding debts, or a possibility if someone is going to contest the will. In a case where the will isn't going to be contested a lot of time and money can be saved by doing a "short probate" if available or not choosing to submit the will to probate court at all. You will still need to go to probate court. The process is faster though and you will be put on the uncontested docket.

Your divorced father just died leaving five daughters. Who is considered the next of kin and has legal responsibility the oldest or all of us?

Your father may have executed a Will. If so, the Will should be submitted to probate for appointment of an executor. If there was no Will then someone must petition the probate court to be appointed the administrator of the estate. That person, once appointed, will have the legal authority to make decisions and settle the estate. An administration must be opened if your father owned any property at death. Until someone is appointed by the court to handle the estate the children are all next of kin and should share in the decisions.
